Solo-uno-one

Life’s challenges create residues on an individual’s soul. The kind of markings that overlap on the original framework. The affects of life’s challenges provide an impression on peoples’ faces. I have looked at myself in the mirror and seen the marking of a college student that has sacrificed for her goals. Under her ears there are scratch marks from the fight I have had to win in order to get what I wanted out of life. Her chin is scraped from the times I have fallen. I have fallen once, and it was the loudest hit I ever took, dear Lord, it echoes still in my ears. To be continued

Life Goals

 

I have set long term goals of attaining a masters and then later working towards a P.H.D in Language Arts.  I have one school year to finally graduate with my master of Arts in Literature/ Rhetoric & Composition.  I have been in school for six years straight, and I am happy to say I’m almost done.  None of my childhood friends have been at this point where I am at right now.  I have been climbing this mountain of struggle and isolation for six years of my life, and finally I can see the top.  This school year is about to begin, and I feel great joy.  I can only hope that the people that love me can understand just how much this means to me and has ment to me for so many years.  For the first time I will be able to live a life that is completely mine, and I have created with my self-determination.  I plan on completing my plans for a better life after I graduate, since I will be the first in my family to have reached such hight in education.  My parents’ love and sacrifice, and my own sacrifice will finally pay off, and I will finally ripen the fruits of my work.
